Feeling in my gut

I have been going through changes.

For some time now I know deep inside of me that something is off and I couldn't run from it anymore. The feeling that a long lasting change is needed in my life has been trying to communicate with me for a while now. I tried to ignore it, I tried to pretend it wasn't there but the thing is that when the time comes there is no way around it.

Last time I felt this way, and I only felt this way once before, I packed my bags and moved to another country. This is how bad it was. And I don't mean that my life was bad, it only mean that I needed change.

Even though I can't say where any of this will take me, I can tell you that the changes are happening inside of me. I have been looking for peace, and this need is leading me to explore new things. I am reading a lot about spirituality, I am meditating (almost) daily, I am listening to podcasts about Buddhism, and I restarted my yoga practice. All I can hope is to find the peace I am looking for and to become a better person than I was yesterday.

In the middle of this all I found out about this mantra that I would like to share with you. This mantra is supposed to help you with following thru and to have patience to do so.

"Shuni Mudra", which means seal of patience.

I repeat this mantra during my meditation practice following my breath. If you would like to learn more you can watch a video about this here.

So to solidify my revolving self and to show in actions my wiliness to get out of my comfortable zone I am proud to announce that I joined a photo contest, and it is a big one. I am trying not to freak out about it and to just trust. After I joined I received this very cute "badge of courage" which I thought it was adorable and had to share it here! Wish me good luck!!
